NEW YORK (JTA) - The most lavish and costly project in operatic history, an $11.5 million production of Giuseppe Verdi's "Nabucco," (Nebuchadnezzar) will be performed a dozen times in Jerusalem next May as the major attraction of Israel's year-long celebration to mark its 40th anniversary of independence. "The opera will have a magnificent setting at the Sultan's Pool, known formally as the Hassenfeld Amphitheatre, just outside the city's walls, at a site originally selected by King Herod for Jerusalem's water supply," Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem told a crowded press conference at the Plaza Hotel here "Tuesday. "It was in Jerusalem that the massacre of the Jews took place when the city was overwhehned by Babylonian forces headed by King Nebuchadnezzar," Kollek said, Michael Ecker, president of OOS-Opera on Original Site, a Swiss-based company specializing in staging operas at their original location, is the producer of "Nabucco." He said at the press conference that 12 performances are planned from May 15-29, 1988, with the possibility of four additional performances through June 2. Major opera stars will take part in the production, Ecker disclosed. Those already signed to head the four alternating casts include such luminaries as Grace Bumbry, Olivia Stapp^ Ingvar Wixell, Renato Bruson, Kurt Rydl, Martti Talveta and Piero Capuccilli.

Soviets spawn Pamyat as ''safety valve" TEL AVIV (JTA) - Norwegian fihn star Liv Ullmann was awarded an honorary Ph-D. by Haifa University this week, her Veventh honorary doctorate. Ullmann pledged that "for as long as I shall earn money," she would finance the education of an Arab student at Haifa University, and her husband Donald Saunders, who is Jewish, would finance that of a Jewish student. Ullman dedicated the Ph.D. to the memory of Pavel Friedman, an 11-year-old Jewish boy murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Two years previously, in the Theresienstadt ghetto, he wrote a poem about a yellow butterfly which survived tibn^ The award-wimiing actress said she often
about 850 non-singing performers. The renowned Italian artistic director Vittorio Rossi, who will direct the production as well as provide settings and costumes, introduced during the press conference Tuesday some of the elaborate costumes he already designed for the show. He said that he decided to get involved with "Nabucco" because the opera's message is that "victory is truly in the hand of spirituality and peace,." Moshe Shoshani, head of Israel's Tourism Ministry in the United States, said that close to 70,000 tourists from all over the world are expected to come to Israel to attend the "Nabucco" performances. He said that special tour packages from the United ' States, starting at around $1800, have been created for the event, combining eight days of sightseeing in Israel, plus optional extensions, and the opera. A special toll-free number outside New York-l-800-NABUCCO-has been established to provide information on these tour packages. The number in New York is 212-418-0438. The opera is in four acts. It was first performed at the La Scala in Milan, Italy, in 1842. It tells the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king who ordered the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.E., and the exile of the Jewish people to Babylon. Nabucco is produced and organized by OOS-Opera on Original Site, in cooperation with the Israel Festival, Jerusalem, the Israel Ministry of Tourism and the Association for Promoting Tourism in Israel. Also assisting the project is Operation Independence, an international organization of businessmen dedicated to the support of Israel.
read the poem at fund-raising events. Ullmann, who portrayed Soviet Jewish activist Ida Nudel in a recent film, met with Nudel, who arrived in Israel two weeks ago. She said Nudel had asked her, in her public appearances, to alert the world to the dangers of a new phenomenon in the Soviet Union—the officially sanctioned existence of a far rightwing, pro-monarchist, antiSemitic organization known as Pamyat. Pamyat is believed responsible for the recent murder of a Jew in Leningrad. According to Kremlinologists, the Soviet authorities point to Pamyat as an indication that they allow expressions of diverse opinion. Actually, the experts say, Pamyat is used as a safety valve to divert the criticism of the more liberal policies of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
By Susan Bimbaun COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (JTA) - The Northwest Coalition Against Malicious Harassment utilized its first-ever convention, a three-day conclave here that ended Sunday, to examine the one issue on which its disparate membership agrees: the need to develop and promulgate practical means to battle prejudice in the United States. To this serene resort town near lakes and gentle mountains came 226 people, among them Montana farmers, Hispanic war veterans, urban radical blacks, Asian Amen* cans, gay students, Moslems interested in Palestinian rights and members of several Amoican Indian tribes. They represented 120 wganizations, including the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, and the American Jewish Committee, both charter members of the coalition. Tony Stewart, head of the political science d^artment at the local North Idaho College and organizer of the conference, described the coalition as a "fragile crystal." Oscar Eason Jr., conference vice president, gave a similar appraisal at the confer^ ence's closing plenary, "Each of us has one thing in common: We want to fight racial and religious harassment. We agree on that," he stated. Eason acknowledged that any number of groups pnesent had "only that one single issue in common." "What you need to know," said Larry Broadbent, a local deputy sheriff who is acknowledged nationally as an intelligence specialist on hate groups, "is that the concerns you have in New York are the same concerns we have in Idaho. There are good
people all over the United States and there are hate groups, tod, all over, that we all oppose." A NATURAL SITE This Idaho town, about 50 miles east of Spokane, Wash., was a natural site for the conference. In recent years it has been the site of attacks by the ultra-rightwing Aryan Nations movement, whose compound is located just north of here in the vicinity of Hayden Lake. The Aryan Nations and allied groups have declared their goal of making the Pacific Northwest an all-white bastion. Although the Aryan Nations recently has been quiet in the immediate area, confo^noe speakers noted the ongoing underground and sporadic activity in the Northwest and throughout the entire country by loosely aligned, right-wing neo-Nazi groups. Many of the speakers called for state legislatures to increase the powers of law enforcement officials to combat violence and latent prejudice. Attorney General Jim Jones of Idaho cited the importance of stronger law enforcement, coupled with strict legislation. Idaho recently enacted laws severely penali^jing acts leading to violence or even training for violence.

A journalism club?
•
'
:,
.
Here's an opportunity for high school students ... In recent weeks, conversations with students in grades 9-12 have led me to believe that now may be the opportune time to start a journalism club at the Jewish Pl-ess. WHAT is a journalism club? Answer; A group of students, assisted by a professional, who meet on an informal basis to discuss various aspects of newspaper work and who participate in any or all of the tasks associated with a newspaper. WHY form such a club? The club would be organized to bring together students with a common interest and to give them an opportunity to obtain professional guidance and practical work experience. WHO would be eligible? Students in grades 9-12 who are interested in either learning about newspaper work in general or who are interested in practicing one or more of the skills involved ... WHERE would the group meet? The journalism club would meet in the Jewish Pr^ss office at the Jewish Community Center and possibly participate in field trips on occasion. WHEN would the group meet? This is one of the questions that would be decided during an exploratory meeting. Decisions of this nature would be made, in part, by the group and its elected representatives. HOW would the group function? The group would have access to a wide range of activity and pursue those areas of interest they select. Possibilities exist in newswriting,. feature article writing, poetry, short stories, art preparation, photography, word processing, ad preparation and selling. Cost? There is no charge for joining the club. There also is no payment. Club members will make a commitment of time only to the extent that they want. Once a commitment is made, however, the member will be expected to assume the responsibility for his project. The procedure will be as follows; . Call the Jewish Press office and leave your name, address, telephone number, and name of school. If there is sufficient interest, a meeting will be scheduled to discuss the organization of the club. All those applying will be accepted, but demonstrated commitment will be necessary to retain one's membership. There's one catch: You 're going to have to read this paper to find out what's going on.
Community theater produces former Omahan's work By Lynda Frank The following contains the opinions of the author. Janet Gendler left Omaha 15 years ago to attend Stanford University and pursue her ambition to be a writer. Now, J. Ruth Gendler, author of "The Book of Qualities, " has returned to Omaha from her home in Berkeley, Calif., for the Omaha Community Playhouse's production of "Qualities." Ms. Gendler also wrote this theatrical adaptation of her book. The play is based on her unique book which person! 3- Ruth Gendler fies 73 emotions and qualities found in people. In her book, Ms. Gendler writes about complacency, anger, fear, patience, honesty and others.The prose is written ahnost poetically: "Pain is subtle. He has cold grey fingers. His voice is hoarse from crying and screaming..." "Pleasure is wild and sweet. She likes purple flowers. She loves the sun and the wind and the night sky. She carries a silver bowl full of liquid moonlight..." "Urgency has the beard of a Hebrew prophet and the eyes of a medieval chemist... Urgency hates to be late. He runs up the stairs racing the escalator..." "Complacency has written lullabies and liturgies, also a lot of ad copy. She has a sweet voice and a gracious maimer..." Even in describing why she changed her name at age 24, Ms. Gendler speaks in poetic overtones, "Janet sounded like a more bird-like name and Ruth sounded more like a tree. I felt I had been a bird all my life and I needed to be a tree for a while. Janet was a light, artistic name and Ruth sounds more solid and substantial." Now 33, Ms Gendler worked for small publishing houses during her 20'8 and became familiar with the mechanics of book production. After working on her book off and on for four years she was ready to have it published, but "I knew an unknown writer and unknown material was not going to get published by a big New York publisher," she said, "so I figured if I could get a little publisher to do it, why don't I just do it myself." She established Turquoise
Mountain Press and began with 3,000 copies of her book in 1984. Through mostly word-of-mouth and a few personal appearances on radio and in bookstores, she has now sold over 10 times that amount. However, her pubhshing days are about to end because she recently sold the book to Harper & Row who will take over publishing in Januap'. "As soon as the book came out," the Omaha Central High School graduate said, "I wanted to dramatize it but I didn't know how to go about it." She had always wanted to be a writer but the theat^- was fairly new to her. She sought various avenues, which did prove feasible, before receiving a letter in August of 1986 from Omaha Community Playhouse director Charles Jones. Mr. Jones liked her book and was interested in adapting it for the theater. Ms. Gendler thought it was an interesting proposition, "to go back to my hometown, next to Temple, next to Lewis and Clark^ and work there." She made a trip to Omaha the following October to see if it was even remotely possible.. Since then she has made a half dozen trips back to her hometown for workshops to put the production together. "It got complicated, almost omate," she explained, "but now it is simplified. It is a more undeniable statement." Although there are only a few new things, the biggest change, she said, was in the formatting. The production, which opened Oct. 22 and runs Thursdays through Sundays through Nov. 22, is not your typical play. "It is not realistic, it doesn't have a conventional plot or characters but it is perfectly coherent, the way our dreams are, which is startling and juxtaposed sometimes," she said. Just as the book can be read on different levels, Ms. Gendler feels the same will be true of the dramatization. "For some people it will challenge their ideas and some people will find what they already believe and assume is true about people," she explained. Although nothing concrete has developed yet, she does . have some prospects for further productions of her play. As for more books or plays, she says she has ideas, but for now can only handle three things at a time—teaching as an artist-in-the-school in California schools, publishing her book for the Christmas season and the artwork she does just for herself. In her book, Ms. Gendler says, "Excitement wears orange socks. He understands the language of flames and loves to build fires." Ms. Gendler, the daughter of Irv and Natalie Gendler, is building her own fires with her words and thoughts.

-«l4 The High Holiday season is officially over and we want to express appreciation to those who made it especially meaningful and beautiful for the residents: Rabbi Myer Kripke and Jacob Rosenberg for conducting the services; and to the B'nai B'rith Men and BBYO members for building and decorating the Sukkah. On Oct. 4, a graduate social work class from UNO visited the Home. Gene Brandt, Shane Kotok, Sharon Conlon and Carmen Felt informed them about the 16tal programming of the Bureau for the Aging, including the Rose Blumkin Home, the Senior Adults Activities, and the Community Services. Ricklie Hoyt and Jacob Rosenberg also spoke to the group. Cece Zorinsky assisted with the songfest on Oct. 6. The evening of Oct. 10 was exciting for the 20 residents who attended the performance of "Galgalim" at the JCC. On Oct. 11, vocalist Andrea Florick entertained and on Oct. 18 members of AZA presented plants to the residents. An Autumn Party was enjoyed on Oct. 21 and Rabbi Sidney Brooks was a welcome guest on Oct.

Arsonist sentenced BOSTON (JTA) - A 22year-old man has been sentenced to five to lO years in prison for burning down Temple Beth David of Westwood, Mass., as well as the torching of two autos and theft. Christopher Badessa, a laborer with a minor criminal record, had pleaded guilty—despite his maintenance of innocence—in the face of "overwhelming" evidence, the Jewish Advocate reports. He had been the subject
of a nationwide alert before he turned himself in to police a week after the incident. No motive was apparent, not even anti-Semitism, and Badessa did not undergo psychological evaluation, according to Rabbi Henry Zoob of Beth David. Beth David will construct a new building about a mile from the current location at a cost of more than $1 million. About $560,000 has been raised. Insurance for the old synagogue amounted to $400,000.

This has led some to believe that there may be some association between the graffiti and a local version of the type of gang known as "skinheads." Jewish leaders in Providence expressed concern about the extensive coverage that the anti-Semitic incidents have received in the local news media.

by Glen Fjneinan Executive director, Jewish Family Service To place adoptable infants and children with Jewish families who can best provide the love, nurturing and guidance for the care and raising of a child. This is the stated purpose of Jewish Family Service's adoption program. In this column a couple of months ago, I described adoption as a "berakhah" in a special way. It is special because one makes a deliberate decision or commitment, often after a period of emotional stress.to take in and raise a child who might othenrise not have the good fortune of a family; the family is further strengthened as a result, A few perspectives on this subject reflect the JFS adoption policy. Confidentiality is maintained even if a couple chooses to be on another agency's waiting list. JFS enboura^ couples to pursue other avenues to adopt a child while they are listed with JFS. JFS provides opportunity for a thorough home study to be completed during both pre- and post-placement of a child, and again when the adoption is final. The payment schedule is negotiable to meet individual circumstances. As long as a couple applies to JFS prior to age 40, that couple may adopt an infant after age 40, a policy unique from other agencies. The agency waiting list is relatively short now, and if you are considering adoption, I encourage you to contact Alice Weiss at the JFS office, 330-2024, to discuss your individual needs.

I don't know about you, but I am personally very paranoid about throwing away a key—even if I don't know what lock it is supposed to open. And the truth is, most all of the keys I have in this drawer or that, are to things we don't even own any more. For example, I still have the keys to the ignition of a car 1 haven't driven for three years. We haven't even owned it for that length of time! Also, not long ago I found a key to the house we moved out of four years ago. I could have sworn I had given the new owners all the keys until I found that. Actually, if I were to ask, my kids probably still each have one of those keys. Another kind of key most of us tend to keep (needlessly) are luggage keys. And if you are typical, you not only have some of those but you don't even have the suitcases any more. I know I have some of those! And 1 think 1 still have some of those dinky little keys the kids used to lock a diary with. They also look like the kind you'd use to open a nttle bank. All of those types don't bother me. While the object for which they were used might be obsolete, at least they can be identified. What really bugs me is finding a key to something I absolutely cannot figure out. And worse than that, if I don't know what it's for, I'm afraid to throw it away. My theory is simply this; the very day after I throw it away and can't get it back, I'll remember what it was used to open and I'll need it. Therefore, it makes sense not to take any chances. Just keep it until maybe somebody can recall its identity. And that's exactly how and why keys are kept Jong after they should have been discarded. Who knows when you might need them? Generally, along with those keys I often have batteries of different sizes and shapes. And there's a mystery surrounding them too. That is, are th?y good or are they dead? If they're dead, why weren't they thrown away to begin with? For the same reason the keys weren't thrown out—bad habits! So, now you know some more of my faults. God knows I have plenty of them—and no shame. If I had any shame, 1 wouldn't publicly admit my bad habits. But noboidy's perfect.

Herzog, Shamir, plan U.S. visit
By Yitzhak Rabi NEW YORK (JTA) President Chaim Herzog andPremier Yitzhak Shamir of Israel are both scheduled to arrive in the United States next month and meet >vith President Reagan at the White House. Herzog's arrival Nov. 10 will mark the first time an Israeli head of state has paid a state visit to Washington. He will be accompanied by his wife, Ora, and will meet with Reagan on Nov. 11. They will travel to New York the following day for meetings with Jewish leaders. He is scheduled • to conclude his visit and return to Israel Nov. 14. Shamir will meet Reagan at the White House on Nov. 20, according to Israeli officials here. The meeting between the two leaders will be brief—"no more than 20 minutes"—and will not deal with any major issues, the officials said. Reagan is expected to meet with Shamir again in January for a '•'working session," according to the officials. Shamir will begin his U.S. visit in New York on Nov. 15, only a day after the Israeli president will have completed his state visit. The Israeli premier will meet in New York with Jewish leaders and then fly to Miami to address the Council of Jewish Feiderations General Assembly on Nov. 19A number of Israeli Cabi-

Rockland's 40 Jews assemble in front of the little synagogue a half mile from the Atlantic. It is 1987 and the pre-service talk is on .the Bork nomination. It is 1787 and the talk is of doings in Philadelphia. It is 1687 and the talk is of vdtchcraft in the colony. It is all the same. We enter the sanctuary where the menorah is lit, not with the natural gas I am used to, but with light bulbs. No matter. Adas Yeshuroin holds services only on the High Holidays and a couple of Shabbats each year to accommodate the sporadic Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Services are led by a retired music teacher who has had some cantonal training. The congregation is alfiliited with Judaism's national Conservative movement and has long had the option of bringing in a student from New York's Jewish Theological Seminary. Being frugal Yimkees, they reject this option as not being worth the ex])ense. I meet a lobsterer who has called his boats in for the day in order to worship.

Services end luiving given me an awareness of the great similarities between the two congregations and, likely, all other gatherings of Jews on this New Year. The words, the music, the feelings and meanings, the sounds of the shofar, are all the same regardless of the temporal surroundings.

But, for all the quirks it held for me Jewishly, I still left Rockland thinldng "that's exactly how I thought it would be." Would more things in life match our expectations so. Two of my great loves are my Jewish heritage and American history. I have always been bothered by the line of reasoning debating which is more significant, meaningful, ' and important, one's Jewish identity or one's American identity. This debate has always seemed to me ill-founded. Should not the two meld together so as to produce one ' grand identity embracing the possibilities and blessings of both? In theory they should and do. In Rockland, at least, theory becomes reality. Here is a place rich in Jewish life and profoundly American in its history, culture, and values. I have my Yankee Rosh Hashanah to prove it.

Jewish Museum holds exhibit on Dreyfus Affair By RocheUe Saidel NEW YORK (JTA) - "The Dreyfus Affair:,Art, Truth and Justice," on view at the Jewish Museum here through Jan. 14,1988, is a remarkable testimony to the interaction of politics, art and the press, using original works of high and popular art, newspapers, early cinema, photographs and memorabilia. This major exhibit surveys the circumstances surrounding the arrest and exoneration 12 years later of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French army officer and an assimilated Alsatian Jew. . In 1894, Dreyfus was charged in France on false evidence of spying. He was subsequently stripped of his rank, condemned to life imprisonment on Devil's Island, retried on appeal, reconvicted, exonerated, and in 1906 reinstated in the army with high honors. The exhibit clearly demonstrates that anti-Semitism was a major factor in the Dreyfus Affair. The grandson of Dreyfus, Dr. Jean-Louis Levy ^f Paris, said at the opening of the exhibit that Dreyfus was isolated on Devil's Island for 1,237 days. He was able to survive only because he had sworn an oath to his wife and children that he would regain the honor of his name. "During the Dreyfus case, an explorer was caught in the polar ice. When he was rescued, hiis first question was: 'Is Dreyfus free'7" Levy said. "We must never stop asking ourselves this very question. Is Dreyfus free?" A Leason For The 20th Century "The Dreyfus Affair was a lesson for the 20th century because it established the modem role of politically engaged intellectuals," exhibit curator Norman Kleeblatt told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. In the introductory chapter of the exhibit catalogue, Kleeblatt states: "The positions of the opinion makers visa-vis the military, the church, the fallen monarchy, capitalism, and the highly visible Jewish community were polarized into two perhaps too simplistic factions—the Dreyfusards and the anti-Dreyfusards... The Affair established for the first time in history a new role of social and political activism for writers, artists, and academicians, setting the pace for the involvement of the same groups in the ever more pressing and harrowing dilemmas of the 20th century. In fact, the term intellectual as it is understood today has its roots in the France of the Affair." The exhibit's blazing newspaper headlines dramatize the pervasiveness of the case in French society. In addition to the famous J 'Accuse of Emile Zola in the January 13,1891 Aurore, there are numerous pro and anti-Dreyfus headlines and news posters. If Zola's " J'Accuse"—an open letter to the President of
Gassin to be interred in the Pantheon By Edwin Eytan PARIS (JTA) - The body of Rene Cassin, a French Jew, resistance fighter and 1968 Nobel Peace Laureate, will be interred in the Pantheon with full military honors Monday evening, more than 10 years after his death. His casket will join those of 364 great names in French history, including Louis Pasteur and Jean Jaures, at ceremonies to be attended by President Francois Mitterrand, Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, and the Presidents of the Senate and National Assembly. Cassin served as Gen. Charles de Gaulle's wartime Minister of Justice and later drew up the International Declaration of the Rights of Man. He also headed the Alliance Israelite Universelle. He died in February, 1976, at the age of 89. Former President Valery Giscard d'Estaing signed the decree for his reinterment at the Pantheon. But it took a decade before it was implemented. The ceremony will be broadcast live in French television. Cassin's body was received with full military honors Sunday at the Les Invalides Chapel where Napoleon is buried. It lay in state until noon Monday. The official mourners ware beaded by Defense Minister Andre Giroud, who paid tribute to his military career. Cassin vdunteered for service in World War I and fought in the battle of Verdun. During World War II, he was one of the first of his countrymen to join DeGaulle's Free French forces in London.

France, which denounced the perpetrators of the injustice against Dreyfus—was the prototype of Dreyfusard press, the anti-Semite Edouard Drumont, editor of the journal La Libre Parole, was the personification of the anti-Dreyfusard press. His journal, launched in 1892, assailed Jews in the army and the Dreyfusards. Six years earlier, Drumont had written La France Juive, attacking Jews in finance and rehashing medieval anti-Semitism. In the foreword of the exhibit catalogue, Eugea Weber, a prominent historian of modern European history, describes the Dreyfus Affair as the first long-running media event. He says: "It was the anti-Semitic press that pushed hesitant military officials into prosecuting and convicting Dreyfus on flimsy evidence. It was in the press that the advocates of revision made their case. It was a press hungry for sensational fare to serve up to its public that launched the tales of Jewish, clerical, military, or foreign plots and counterplot, which turned a mere court case into an Affair and endowed it with moral and historical dimensions. Without the press, there would have been no Dreyfus Affair. Without the press, Dreyfus would not have been vindicated. We may regard the scandal of Dreyfus as the first great triumph of the Fourth Estate." Regarding the anti-Semitism that permeated the Dreyfus Affair, Weber says: "Explanations of anti-Semitism come from as many directions as do rationalizations of antiSemitism. None seems to me as forceful as the fact that history and cultural traditicn made Jews the resident aliens par excellence." (French Jewry was the first emancipated European Jewish onmnunity, obtaining equality with other citizens of the French Republic in 1791.) The exhibit's collection of mass-produced popular culture items that reflect the Affair can be viewed as precursors of similar current items. Fin-de-siecle ladies' fans, children's cartoons, board games, picture postcards and other curiosities with Dreyfusard and anti-Dreyfusard themes can be compared with today's Oliver North T-shirts and Pope John Paid II masks, garden sprinklers, and "Pope com—the blessed in the West." But current headlines and related souvenirs are quickly passe, and the Dre^s Affair hdd the French public interest for 12 years. Highlight OfThe ExhiUt The highlight of the exhibit is a room which displays and chronicles the involvement Of the some of the major artists of the day. "It is still unsettling to realize that it was the Dreyfus Affair that caused the break between two important artists (Edgar) Degas and (Camille) Pissarro, who had been fast friends," Kleeblatt says. The Dreyfusard camp included such prestigious painters as Pissarro, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt and Jean Edouard Vuillard; anti-Dreyfusards included Degas, Paul Cezaime and Pierre Auguste Renoir. "On the surface, the. Affair was as immediate as the latest newspaper or broadside. On a more fundamental levelmore evident in the fine arts—there were basic social and ethical issues at stake," museum director Joan Rosenbaum says in the preface of the catalogue. She refers to "the responsibility of the press, the power of the individual versus the state, the role of the artist and intellectual in society, and the insidious nature of anti-Semitism."

Golda's Denver house nears moment of truth By Chris Leppek Intermountain Jewish News 'DENVER (JTA) - An educational center will consider rescuing Golda Meir's dilapidated former home here from demolition, while the City of Denver seems ready to raze the duplex. The board of directors of the ^uraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) unanimously voted in principle to move the small duplex from a city park to AHEC land here. The vote also directed AHEC staff to study the
possible use of the house and to determine the feasibility of raising the estimated $100,000 necessary for restoration. The study process couJd take several months.
Meanwhile, the GMMA continued to battle the City of Denver over its apparent determination to demohsh the duplex. The city is anxious to remove the building, and negotiations with the GMAA over liability insurance, maintenance and security for the house failed to result in an agreement.
Larry Ambrose, AHEC development director, indicated that the Auraria Foundation of AHEC would work with the grassroots Golda Meir Memorial Association (GMMA) to raise the funds. He indicated that if half of the funds could be raised by January, "the project should be considered a go."
A Denver District Court hearing has been scheduled and may determine whether the city must wait until the Auraria decision is finalized or whether it can go ahead and demolish the structure now.

BOSTON (JTA) - Complaints and apologies notwithstanding, Tufts University here will not reschedule its commencement ceremony from the first day Shavuot, May 22, 1988, according to reports in the Jewish press. Complaints from Jewish students and their parents began upon disclosure of the 1987-88 university calendar last May. University provost Sol Gittleman apologized in a letter to the Jewish community. "In the midst of the holiest week of the Jewish year, we find ourselves having to ask for forgiveness," he wrote. He urged Jews to ' 'make the best out of a bad situation" because changing the date "would cause hardship for someone else." Gittleman said the scheduled mistake was made four or five years ago. University spokespersons have contended that changing the date would disrupt summer school, scheduled to begin the next day, as well as clinical internships, hotel reservations of parents attending commencement, travel ai-rangements of foreign students and athletic events. ACADEMIC CHAIR SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. (JTA) - The Institute for Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University here has established an academic chair named for its director, Msgr. John Oesterreicher. The Jewish-bom priest, a native of Austria, converted to Catholicism as a young man and barely escaped the Nazis. The chair will allow the center to employ visiting professors.

'Secrets' WASHINGTON (JTA) The Soviet Union is the only major developed country that not only restricts emigration, but uses the possession of "state secrets" as a general reason to deny permission to leave, according to a report presented to Secretary of State George Shultz r»cently. "The Soviet Union is alone among major developed states in routinely concluding that ordinary citizens possess 'state secrets' so as to justify preventing their leaving the country," the report said. , The study was prepar«d by the New York-based international Uw firm of White & Case for the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ) and given to Shultz by the NCSJ as it briefed him on the conditions of Soviet Jewry aa ha prepared to leave for the Middle East and Moscow. Shultz, who had asked for the report, said it would help him in his efforts, not only on behalf of individual refuseniks, but to get the Soviets to establish a "more systematic process" of dealing with emigration, according to a NCSJ spokesman.
Israel-Poland connect by air By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - Direct air service between Israel and Poland was inaugurated last week with a charter flight operated by El Al's Sun Dor charter company. The flight from Israel carried a group of Israelis enroute to a tour of Poland, with the return flight bringing a group of American contributors to Israel on a tour of Poland and Israel The flight to Poland took just over four hours, and the way back was three-and-ahalf hours, helped by the winds. During the plane's fourhour stop-over at Warsaw airport, the El Al crew was taken on a tour of the old ghetto area of Warsaw and the memorial to the victims of Nazism.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — An American Jewish leader urged the Vatican's representative here to publicly condemn a blatantly anti-Semitic homily delivered by a Roman Catholic priest in Cordoba and .expressed concern that the Vatican has not yet spoken out. Seymour Reich, international president of B'nai B'rith, raised the issue at a meeting with the Papal Nuncio, Msgr. Ubaldo Calabresi. He was referring to the monthly Mass honoring "victims of subversion", at which Father Manuel Baltran denounced the "bad Jews" who "surround" the government of President Rau) Alfonsin and suggested that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion was a document worth reflecting

If only because demo^ cracy is still so fragile in Argentina, it is important that the church's reaction to anti-Semitic remarks by an Argentine priest be made public, Reich told Calabresi. Calabresi replied that he had informed Beltran that he was wrong but made no public statement because the incident was an isolated one.
